This chapter describes how to install a new NetWare 6.5 server. If you are upgrading from a previous version of NetWare, see Chapter 3, Upgrading to NetWare 6.5, on page 75. Installing a new server includes the following tasks: Meeting System and Software Requirements (page 24) Preparing the Network with Deployment Manager (page 26) Preparing the Computer (page 29) Installing the Software (page 31) Selecting the Settings and Configuration (page 32) Choosing the Server Type (page 35) Naming the Server (page 56) Installing Networking Protocols (page 58) Setting Up Domain Name Service (page 62) Setting the Server Time Zone (page 63) Setting Up Novell eDirectory (page 63) Licensing the NetWare 6.5 Server (page 65) Selecting the Login Method (page 66) Completing the Server Installation (page 71)
Conditions for Installing NetWare 6.5

The NetWare 6.5 installation is supported only under the following conditions: Install onto a clean, error-free disk drive. Remove files from any previous installation, and run the SCANDISK or CHKDSK DOS utilities to verify the integrity of the DOS partition. Install a NetWare 6.5 server into a tree that has Novell eDirectoryTM 8 or later. Installing into a tree with a version earlier than eDirectory 8 can make User objects unmanageable when using management utilities other than those that ship with NetWare 6.5. The server cannot be installed in a tree that contains NetWare 4.10 servers. All servers in the tree must be NetWare 4.11 or later.
23
To ensure that Licensing works properly, all NetWare 4 and 5 servers in your tree need to be at the following minimum Support Pack level: NetWare 4.11 and 4.2 servers must be at Support Pack 6a or later NetWare 5.0 servers must be at Support Pack 4 or later NetWare 5.1 servers must be at Support Pack 3 or later
NOTE: Novell recommends installing the latest available Support Packs on all NetWare servers in your
tree.
To ensure that your trees keys and certificates are not broken, apply Support Pack 6 to all NetWare 5.1 servers in the tree. Additionally, run PKIdiag on any servers being upgraded and make sure that the certificates are good. Also, run SDIdiag and fix any tree key issues.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you run PKIdiag and SDIdiag after you have applied Support Pack 6 to your NetWare 5.1 servers.
Before you introduce a NetWare 6.5 server into an existing network, you must run the NetWare Deployment Manager to update the network. See Preparing the Network with Deployment Manager on page 26 for more information.
IMPORTANT: The NetWare 6.5 Deployment Manager can only be run in an Internet Explorer 5 or 6
browser.
Installation Issues
If a problem occurs (critical errors, the installation fails, etc.) during the installation procedure before the file copy and the Operating System installation is complete, you must start the installation again from the beginning. If a problem occurs (critical errors, the install fails, etc.) during the product installation procedure after the file copy and the OS install is complete, the installation will finish. An error will be generated telling you which individual product installation failed, but the remaining products will install normally. For a complete list of known issues in this release of NetWare 6.5, see the Installation/ Upgrade section of the NetWare 6.5 Readme.
Meeting System and Software Requirements

System Requirements
NetWare 6.5 will run on the minimum system requirements listed below. For optimal performance, the computer should meet the recommended requirements.
Minimum System Requirements
NetWare 6.5 has the following minimum system requirements: A server-class PC with a Pentium* II or AMD* K7 processor 512 MB of RAM A Super VGA display adapter A DOS partition of at least 200 MB and 200 MB available space
24
2 GB of available, unpartitioned disk space outside the DOS partition for volume sys: One network board A CD drive
Recommended System Requirements
For optimal performance, NetWare 6.5 has the following recommended system requirements: A server-class PC with two-way Pentium III, Pentium III Xeon, Pentium 4, or Intel Xeon 700 MHz or higher processors 1 GB of RAM Some NetWare 6.5 installation options (patterned deployments) have specific processor and RAM requirements. Please see Choosing the Server Type on page 35 for individual pattern requirements. A VESA compliant 1.2 or higher display adapter A boot partition with 1 GB of available space To determine the optimal size of a boot partition, add the amount of server memory to the minimum amount of the available disk space. The minimum amount of available space is 200 MB, so a server with1024 MB RAM has an optimal boot partition of 1224 MB (1024 MB + 200 MB = 1224 MB). This size will allow you to do a core dump to the disk drive if required. 4 GB of available, unpartitioned disk space outside the boot partition for volume sys: One or more network boards A bootable CD drive that supports the El Torito specification A USB or PS/2* mouse
Software and Other Requirements

Depending on the network configuration, you might need one or all of the following: NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) NetWare 6.5 CD 2 (Products) NetWare 6.5 License/Cryptography diskette NetWare 6.5 Documentation CD NetWare 6.5 Partner CD Novell Clients Software CD (July 2003) Novell Nterprise Branch Office CD Novell DirXML Starter Pack CD The DirXML Starter Pack for NetWare 6.5 provides licenses to use DirXML, the DirXML Driver for NT, the DirXML Driver for Active Directory, and the DirXML Driver for eDirectory. All of the DirXML drivers are provided for you to use and evaluate for 90 days, but these additional drivers require purchase and activation after the initial evaluation period. Supervisor right at the [Root] of the eDirectory tree for the first NetWare 6.5 server installed in the tree Supervisor right to the container where the server will be installed
25
Read right to the Security container object for the eDirectory tree A subcontainer administrator can install a NetWare 6.5 server into the tree under the following conditions: If the server to be installed will receive a copy of the replica, then the administrator with the Supervisor right at the [Root] of the tree must first install three other new servers into the tree. If the server to be installed will not receive a copy of the replica, then the administrator with the Supervisor right at the [Root] of the tree must first install one new server into the tree. The subcontainer administrator must have the Read right to the NDSPKI:Private Key Attribute on the Organizational CAs object. The CAs object is located in the Security container. The subcontainer administrator must have the Supervisor right to the W0 object located inside the KAP object in the Security container. These rights can be granted by placing all administrative users in a Group or Role, and then assigning the above rights to the Group or Role. Client connection utilities (optional, for installing from a network): Novell Client for DOS and Windows 3.1x (for installing from a NetWare server running IPXTM). IP Server Connection Utility (for installing from a NetWare server running IP only). For instructions, see products\serverinst\ipconn.txt on the Novell Clients Software CD (July 2003). IP address and domain names (optional, for connecting to the Internet): An IP address The IP address of a domain name server The name of your domain Network board and storage device properties, such as the interrupt and port address (required if not included in NetWare) For more information, contact your computer hardware manufacturer.
Preparing the Network with Deployment Manager

Before you introduce a NetWare 6.5 server into an existing network, you must run the NetWare Deployment Manager to update the network.
1 On a Windows NT/2000 or Windows XP Professional Edition workstation that has the latest
Novell client installed on it, log in to your existing network as a user with the Supervisor right. If you are prompted to log in again while running the NetWare Deployment Manager, you can specify the IP address of the server by clicking Details.
2 Insert NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) and run the NetWare Deployment Manager
(nwdeploy.exe) located at the root of the CD.

IMPORTANT: The Internet Explorer version 5 or 6 browser is required for Deployment Manager to work properly. If you do not have Internet Explorer installed on the workstation where the Deployment Manager
26
is running or you do not want to use the ActiveX Control included with Deployment Manager, select nwdeploynobrowser.exe at the root of the CD to run Deployment Manager under those conditions.
3 In the left frame of the browser window, under the heading Network Preparation, click the
Overview link to review the following tasks you need to perform: Back Up Data Search Tree for eDirectory and NDS versions Prepare for New eDirectory Generate GUIDs on NetWare 4 Servers (Conditional) Prepare a Novell Cluster for Upgrade (Conditional) Update the Certificate Authority (CA) Object Prepare for Universal Password Prepare for CIFS/AFP
4 Under the Network Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Back Up Data
link and follow the instructions that display to back up any server data and Novell eDirectory data. Backing up your data is an optional step, but one that we recommend you complete.
5 Under the Network Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Search Tree
for eDirectory/NDS Versions link to update the NDS in your tree to a level that is compatible with the version of eDirectory installed by NetWare 6.5. (Conditional) If the tree is using NDS, a compatible version of NDS must be running on all servers in the tree. The View and Update NDS utility checks the NetWare and NDS versions of all servers and updates NetWare 4/NDS 6 and NetWare 5/NDS 7 servers to be compatible with eDirectory. It does not update NetWare servers already running eDirectory.
6 Under the Network Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Prepare for
New eDirectory link and follow the displayed instructions to extend the network schema. This ensures that the new NetWare 6.5 server can communicate with an existing NDS/ eDirectory tree. This step requires that you have already updated NetWare 4/NDS 6 and NetWare 5/NDS 7 servers to be compatible with eDirectory as described in Step 5. It also requires access to a server with a Read/Write replica of the Root partition.
7 (Conditional) If you have NetWare 4.11 or 4.2/NDS 6 servers in your tree, under the Network
Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Generate GUIDs on NetWare 4 Servers link and follow the instructions to generate the necessary GUIDs.
IMPORTANT: The GUID generator in Deployment Manager does not work with NetWare 4.10 servers,
only with 4.11 or 4.2 servers. If there is a NetWare 4.10 server in your tree, it must be removed or you cannot install a new NetWare 6.5 server.
This step requires you to update NetWare 4.11 or 4.2/NDS 6 servers to be compatible with eDirectory and to extend the core schema of your tree, as described in Step 5 and Step 6. Step 5 copied a new ds.nlm and a new sguid.nlm that support GUID generation to each selected NetWare 4 server. With these updated files in place, and with the core schema extended and synchronized, when ds.nlm is restarted on a NetWare 4.11 or 4.2/NDS 6 server it automatically generates GUIDs for objects in master replicas on that server.
27
Even though the new GUID generator for NetWare 4 helps to avoid GUID compatibility issues, problems can still occur. Always back up all file system trustees before any upgrade or migration to NetWare 6.5.

Preparing the Computer

To prepare your computer for NetWare 6.5: In the config.sys file, set FILES=50. We recommend that you run SCANDISK or CHKDSK /F (depending on the machines version of DOS) on the C: drive before beginning the installation procedure. Install computer and networking hardware. For more information, see Installing Computer and Networking Hardware on page 30. Create and format a Boot partition. For more information, see Creating and Formatting a Boot Partition on page 30. Access the installation files. For more information, see Access the Installation Files on page 30.
Installing a New NetWare 6.5 Server 29
Installing Computer and Networking Hardware

Follow the manufacturers instructions to install and connect the network board and network cabling to your computer. Make sure that all storage devices are properly attached to storage adapters.
Creating and Formatting a Boot Partition

NetWare requires a Boot partition in standard FAT format to start the computer and load NetWare. The Boot partition contains the NetWare startup and server files. If a Boot partition already exists on your machine, proceed to Access the Installation Files on page 30.
TIP: You should increase the size of your boot partition to accommodate your specific configuration
requirements. See System Requirements on page 24.
To create and format a DOS boot partition:

1 Back up any desired data to another computer or offline storage media. 2 Insert NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) and boot the computer. 3 Complete one of the following:
If the computer boots from the CD, follow the on-screen prompts to select the language and regional settings, then skip to Accept the License Agreement on page 32 and follow the instructions. If you will be installing from files located on another server, continue with step 4. If the computer does not boot from the CD, continue with step 4.
4 Boot your computer with DOS 3.3 or later. 5 If the computer already has an operating system installed, such as Windows or NetWare, you
should completely remove the partitions and the operating system. You can use FDISK to remove partitions, or the partitions can be deleted from the Prepare Boot Partition screen.
6 If you want to use FDISK to create an active DOS partition, enter FDISK at the DOS prompt.
Create a primary DOS partition and make it the active partition. See System Requirements on page 24 for minimum requirements. The computer will restart.
7 Format and transfer DOS system files to the partition by changing to drive a: and entering
FORMAT C: /S at the DOS prompt. Your computer should now have an active DOS partition that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements. Continue the installation by accessing the installation files.
Access the Installation Files

NetWare 6.5 can be installed from the servers local CD drive or from installation files located on the network.
1 Insert NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) and boot the computer. 2 Complete one of the following:
If the computer does not boot from the CD, continue with the following steps.
30
If the computer boots from the CD, follow the on-screen prompts and skip to Select the Language and Regional Settings on page 32.
3 Boot your computer with DOS 3.3 or later. 4 Access NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System).
If you install CD drivers to the disk drive, make sure that the logical filename of your CD drive (specified in config.sys and autoexec.bat) is not CDDVD.
5 Make sure that the config.sys file contains the FILES=50 and BUFFERS=30 commands. 6 (Conditional) To install from NetWare 6.5 files located on a network, install the Novell Client
for DOS and Windows 3.1x or IP Server Connection Utility software located on the Novell Clients Software CD (July 2003).
7 (Conditional) To install from NetWare 6.5 files located on a network, copy the contents of
both NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) and NetWare 6.5 CD 2 (Products) to the same directory on your network. In copying these two CDs to the network, you may see messages regarding duplicate files. This is because some of the files for NetWare 6.5 are placed on both CDs. Proceed past the duplicate file messages and continue the copy to the network.
TIP: If you attempt to install a new server into your tree at the same time you upgrade another server in the
tree to NetWare 6.5, you might have difficulty logging in to the server being upgraded until the other servers installation is complete.
Using Updated Files during the Installation
The c:\nwupdate directory structure for NetWare 6.5 mirrors the directory structure of the install image. Updated files should be placed in the c:\nwupdate subdirectory that corresponds to where they are located in the install image. There are two notable exceptions to this rule: 1. Install scripts (sys_inst.ils, dos_inst.ils, defpre.ils, defcopy.ils, etc.) should be placed in the c:\nwupdate directory.
NOTE: Defpre.ils and defcopy.ils are dummy scripts called from dos_inst.ils (the first C-Worthy copy) and sys_inst.ils (the second C-Worthy copy), respectively, and are intended to be modified for OEM use. These scripts are also used in NetWare 6.0.
2. The subdirectories of the c:\nwupdate\drivers directory (\storage, \lan, \psm, \sbd, \cios) have been eliminated. Their files and subdirectories should be placed in the c:\nwupdate\drivers directory. There is a blackout period during the install when access to the DOS drives (C:, D:, etc.) is prohibited. This occurs during the time that platform support and storage drivers (PSMs, HAMs, SBDs, and CDMs) are detected and loaded. However, they can be loaded from a floppy disk.
Installing the Software

To begin the installation, complete the following steps:
1 Insert NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System).

Installing Networking Protocols

NetWare 6.5 can process IP (Internet Protocol) network packets and traditional IPXTM (Internetwork Packet ExchangeTM) packets. Both protocols can be assigned to a single network board, which allows the server to communicate using IP and IPX. About the Internet Protocol (IP) (page 58) About IPX (page 59) Using Both IP and IPX (page 59) Installing IP and IPX (page 59)
About the Internet Protocol (IP)

The Internet protocol (IP) lets your network share data with other IP networks, including the Internet. Using IP requires a unique IP address, a subnet, and a router or gateway address. IP AddressIdentifies each device on the network. The address consists of 32 bits, which are represented as decimal values separated by periods, such as 123.45.67.89. If your server will connect to the Internet, you must obtain a unique IP address. For information on receiving an IP address, contact your Internet service provider (ISP). Subnet MaskLets you break up your network into smaller networks. Your network might have too many nodes or might be too geographically dispersed to manage as a single network. Dividing your network into smaller networks allows the network routers to filter and reduce the network activity seen by any of the nodes. However, dividing your network and using several network addresses might not be appropriate on a large network that needs to appear to network administrators as a single network. Router (Gateway)The address of the router that connects two different environments, such as a LAN and the Internet. You can specify a specific router (gateway) address or you can rely on the network to automatically find the nearest router. If you specify the address, remember that the router must exist on your network segment. Installing IP will automatically bind to the Ethernet_II frame type. When IP is selected, passive support for IPX is also provided. If an IPX request arrives at the server, NetWare will process the IPX request. This passive support for IPX is called Compatibility Mode and is automatically enabled to provide service for applications that require IPX.
TIP: You can disable Compatibility Mode by removing the LOAD SCMD command from the servers
autoexec.ncf file. When IPX Compatibility Mode is disabled, the server will process only IP packets. Applications that require IPX will not function properly.
58
About IPX
Novells traditional protocol, Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), lets you continue using IPXbased applications. If IPX, but not IP, is installed on your server, it will actively process IPX packets and ignore packets using other protocols, such as IP. During the installation program, existing IPX frame types will be detected. The installation program will detect one of the following conditions. A single IPX frame typeIf a single frame type is detected, it will be installed. Multiple IPX frame typesIf detected, you will be prompted to choose the frame types that you want to install. No IPX frame typesIf no frame types are detected, Ethernet_802.2 will be installed by default.
Using Both IP and IPX

If you have network clients or applications that require IPX and IP, you can install both protocols. Both protocols can be bound to a single network board. When selected, both IP and IPX protocols are actively supported. The server will process IP requests using IP, and it will broadcast and reply to IPX requests using IPX.
Installing IP and IPX

1 From the Protocols page, select a network board. 2 Check the IP check box. 3 Type the required IP information for the selected network board. 4 Check the IPX check box if you are installing IPX on the selected network board.
If you choose to install IP and not IPX, the SERVERID reference is not used and is removed from autoexec.ncf. You can add IPX after the server installation by adding the SERVERID 8_digit_number command after the SERVERNAME command in autoexec.ncf.
5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for each network board in the server. (Optional) Configuring SLP
Service Location Protocol (SLP) is an IETF standard for enabling network-based applications to automatically discover the location, including the address or domain name and other configuration information, of a required service. Using SLP, clients can connect with and make use of services on an IP network. Without SLP, network resources must be manually configured or specified in a separate configuration file. SLP should be configured properly if the server is going to be a part of a migration using the NetWare Migration Wizard utility.
1 From the Protocols page, click Advanced. 2 Select the SLP tab. 3 Either specify the IP addresses of the Directory Agents on your network or, if no Directory
Agents exist on your network, check the Configure This Server as a DA check box.
4 If you want to enable multicasting, check the Enable Multicast Routing on This Server check
box.
5 Click OK. Installing a New NetWare 6.5 Server 59
(Optional) Configuring SNMP
Network management utilities use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to record and communicate information about network devices. Using an SNMP-compatible utility, you can set and monitor threshold levels and specific events such as packets per second or error rates. The information is then sent to the destination address of the workstation running the SNMPcompatible management utility.
1 From the Protocols page, click Advanced. 2 Select the SNMP tab. 3 (Optional) Type a hardware description, server location, and administrator in the fields
provided.
4 Type the IPX and IP destination addresses of the devices that will receive the SNMP
information in the fields provided.

5 Click OK. (Optional) Configuring IPX Compatibility
When enabled, IPX compatibility provides passive support for IPX-based applications without binding IPX. Although the server does not broadcast services using RIP and SAP, NetWare processes any IPX request that arrives at the server.
1 From the Protocols page, click Advanced. 2 Select the IPX Compatibility tab. 3 (Conditional) Check the Load IPX Compatibility check box. This option is only available if
you did not check the IPX box in Installing IP and IPX on page 59.
3a Type the eight-digit hexadecimal compatibility mode network number in the field
provided or accept the default shown.

3b Select the preferred IP address from the drop-down list. 4 (Conditional) Check the Load the Migration Agent on This Server check box. This option is
only available if you checked the IPX box in Installing IP and IPX on page 59. NetWare regulates IP and IPX protocols using a Migration Agent. A Migration Agent regulates the protocol function on different network segments. If a Migration Agent is not enabled, packets are not forwarded onto network segments communicating with a different protocol. For more information, see the online help file associated with this screen.
4a Type the eight-digit hexadecimal compatibility mode network number in the field
provided or accept the default shown.

4b Select the preferred IP address from the drop-down list. 5 Click OK.

Hostnames
If you bound two different IP addresses to two or more network boards, the hostnames page will display. If you have only one network board, or you bound two or more network boards with the same IP address, see Setting Up Domain Name Service on page 62. You must specify a hostname for each of the IP addresses that were bound in Installing Networking Protocols on page 58. The hostname is the name of the DNS server that will resolve to your IP address. If you do not know the hostname, contact your network administrator. You must also determine which IP address will be the Primary IP address. The Primary IP address will be the default IP address for all TCP/IP services.
1 Type a hostname in the field provided for each IP address. 2 Click the Primary radio button next to the IP address you want to specify as the primary IP
address.
3 Click Next.
Setting Up Domain Name Service

The IP protocol identifies computers and systems by their assigned IP addresses, such as 123.45.56.89. Domain Name Service (DNS) allows a specific server on the network to maintain a list of simple, readable names that match IP addresses. Applications (or protocols) that require IP addresses rather than names can use a DNS server to translate from one form to another.
TIP: If this server will not be available to the Internet, you can skip this screen and ignore any associated error
messages.
1 If you want this server to be available to the Internet, provide the following information on
the Domain Name Service page: Host NameThe simple, readable name on the DNS server that matches this NetWare 6.5 servers name (or the name that you have bound to the network board). You can set up the host computer name on the DNS server to use the NetWare server name.
NOTE: If you bound two different IP addresses to two or more network boards in Installing Networking Protocols on page 58, the Host Name field will not display on this screen. This is because you specified the hostname on the Hostnames screen described in the previous step. The remainder of this screen remains the same.
Domain NameThe hierarchical name that represents the organization of your network, such as acme.com. Domain Name ServerThe IP address of the DNS server that maintains the list containing this NetWare 6.5 servers simple, readable name and IP address. For more information, contact your network administrator or Internet service provider.
2 (Optional) If you want the install to verify the domain name service information for you,
check the Verify the DNS Information check box.

1 On the Time Zone page, select the correct time zone setting from the available list. 2 Check the check box if you want the system to adjust automatically for Daylight Savings
Time.
(Optional) Configure Time Synchronization
Specifying the type of time server allows the synchronization of the reported time across the network. It also provides expiration dates and time stamps to establish the order of events taking place in eDirectory. NetWare distinguishes three types of time servers that provide network time: Single Reference, Reference, and Primary. All other servers are called Secondary time servers because they receive their time from the time providers.
1 On the Time Zone page, click Advanced. 2 On the Time Synchronization page, click the radio button next to the time server type that you
want.
3 (Optional) If you do not want to accept the defaults, configure Timesync time sources by

Setting Up Novell eDirectory

Novell eDirectory provides global access to all networking resources. eDirectory allows users with the proper access rights to log in to the network and view and access network resources. Network resources such as servers and printers are presented hierarchically in an eDirectory tree. Users log in to the eDirectory tree with a single login name and password instead of logging in to specific servers. Before completing this task, you should understand the concepts relating to eDirectory trees, containers, and context. Tree NameThe top level of the available network resources. It must be unique from other eDirectory tree names on the network. ContainersMuch like subdirectories, containers contain network objects. The server can be installed into two types of container objects: Organization (O) and Organizational Unit (OU).
ContextThe context, much like DOS directory paths, denotes the full path of a network object in the eDirectory tree. For example, a NetWare server might be installed into an Organizational Unit (OU) named Sales under the Organization (O) named Acme. The context would be denoted as OU=Sales.O=Acme or Sales.Acme.
Selecting the Type of eDirectory Installation

To set up eDirectory, you must choose one of the following options: Install the Server into an Existing eDirectory Tree (page 64) Creating a New eDirectory Tree (page 64)
1 Click the radio button next to the eDirectory option you want. 2 Click Next.
Install the Server into an Existing eDirectory Tree

Installing your server into an existing eDirectory tree incorporates the server into your network. The server can be installed in any Organization (O) or Organizational Unit (OU) container in the eDirectory tree where you have the Supervisor right. You can create containers during the installation program.
1 Type the tree name in the field provided. 2 Type the context for the server object in the field provided. 3 Click Next. 4 Type the full eDirectory context for the Admin object. 5 Type the password for the Admin object. 6 Click OK.
IMPORTANT: If this is the first NetWare 6.5 server to be installed into an existing eDirectory tree, you are

If you have not run the Deployment Manager, you can run it on a workstation, return to the server console, and click Yes, or you can click No, cancel the installation, run Deployment Manager, then restart the installation. NetWare Deployment Manager (nwdeploy.exe) is located on the NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) and is run from a Windows workstation. If you have updated the eDirectory tree on all servers but have not yet prepared the network for NDS 8, you will be prompted to modify the schema. When prompted, you must provide the administrator name and password for the entire eDirectory tree.
Creating a New eDirectory Tree

Create a new tree if you are creating a new network or if this server requires a separate eDirectory tree. The resources available on the new tree will only be available to users logged in to the new tree.
1 Type a tree name.

properly. If you do not have Internet Explorer installed on the workstation where the Deployment Manager is running or you do not want to use the ActiveX Control included with Deployment Manager select nwdeploynobrowser.exe at the root of the CD to run Deployment Manager under those conditions.
77
3 In the left frame of the browser window, under the heading Network Preparation, click the
Overview link to review the following tasks you need to perform: Back Up Data Search Tree for eDirectory and NDS versions Prepare for New eDirectory Generate GUIDs on NetWare 4 Servers (Conditional) Prepare a Novell Cluster for Upgrade (Conditional) Update the Certificate Authority (CA) Object Prepare for Universal Password Prepare for CIFS/AFP
4 Under the Network Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Back Up Data
link and follow the instructions that display to back up any server data and Novell eDirectory data. Backing up your data is an optional step, but one that we recommend you complete.
5 Under the Network Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Search Tree
for eDirectory/NDS Versions link to update the NDS in your tree to a level that is compatible with the version of eDirectory installed by NetWare 6.5. (Conditional) If the tree is using NDS, a compatible version of NDS must be running on all servers in the tree. The View and Update NDS utility checks the NetWare and NDS versions of all servers and updates NetWare 4/NDS 6 and NetWare 5/NDS 7 servers to be compatible with eDirectory. It does not update NetWare servers already running eDirectory.
6 Under the Network Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Prepare for
New eDirectory link and follow the displayed instructions to extend the network schema. This ensures that the new NetWare 6.5 server can communicate with an existing NDS/ eDirectory tree. This step requires that you have already updated NetWare 4/NDS 6 and NetWare 5/NDS 7 servers to be compatible with eDirectory as described in Step 5. It also requires access to a server with a Read/Write replica of the Root partition.
7 (Conditional) If you have NetWare 4.11 or 4.2/NDS 6 servers in your tree, under the Network
Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Generate GUIDs on NetWare 4 Servers link and follow the instructions to generate the necessary GUIDs.
IMPORTANT: The GUID generator in Deployment Manager does not work with NetWare 4.10 servers,
only with 4.11 or 4.2 servers. If there is a NetWare 4.10 server in your tree, it must be removed or you cannot upgrade to NetWare 6.5.
This step requires you to update NetWare 4.11 or 4.2/NDS 6 servers to be compatible with eDirectory and to extend the core schema of your tree, as described in Step 5 and Step 6. Step 5 copied a new ds.nlm and a new sguid.nlm file that support GUID generation to each selected NetWare 4 server. With these updated files in place, and with the core schema extended and synchronized, when ds.nlm is restarted on a NetWare 4.11 or 4.2/NDS 6 server it automatically generates GUIDs for objects in master replicas on that server. Even though the new GUID generator for NetWare 4 helps to avoid GUID compatibility issues, problems can still occur. Always back up all file system trustees before any upgrade or migration to NetWare 6.5. If a problem does occur, see TID# 10078892 - Trustee
Assignments Appear to No Longer Work After NetWare 4x to NetWare 6x Upgrade (http:// support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10078892.htm) for more information.
8 Under the Network Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Prepare a
Server for Upgrade link and follow the displayed instructions to run a health check on the server that you are upgrading to NetWare 6.5. The utility found in this section will perform a general health check on you server to ensure that there is enough memory, a sys: volume is in place, and that the server meets the minimum requirements for the upgrade. This utility will report if problems are detected that could cause the upgrade to fail.
9 (Conditional) If you are upgrading a cluster of NetWare servers, under the Network
Preparation heading on the left side of the browser, click the Prepare Cluster for Upgrade link to follow the instructions to run the Prepare a Novell Cluster for Upgrade program.
10 Click the Update Certificate Authority Objects link under the Network Preparation heading
and follow the instructions displayed to create or update a Security container object and a Certificate Authority (CA) object. Novell Certificate ServerTM is an integrated Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) built in to eDirectory. The NetWare installation process uses Novell Certificate Server to create an Organizational Certificate Authority and to issue certificates for applications that consume Secure Socket Layer (SSL) services. Novell delivered a base-level PKI with NetWare 5.0. Because your network might be configured with the NetWare 5.0 PKI, you should follow the steps outlined here to properly upgrade from the NetWare 5.0 PKI and to correctly configure your network for Novell Certificate Server.
11 Click the Prepare for Universal Password link under the Network Preparation heading, read
the explanation of the Universal Password feature of NetWare 6.5, click the Universal Password Deployment Guide link, then follow the step-by-step instructions in the deployment guide for setting up the Universal Password feature.
12 Click the Prepare for CIFS/AFP link under the Network Preparation heading and follow the
instructions displayed to prepare your new NetWare 6.5 server so CIFS (Microsoft Windows native networking workstations) and AFP (Apple Macintosh native networking workstations) users can log in to it.
13 Click the Verify NICI Keys link under the Network Preparation heading and follow the
instructions displayed to check your eDirectory tree for SDI key consistency.

If the server is running ZENworks for Servers 2, you must install ZENworks for Servers 3 prior to upgrading the server to NetWare 6.5.
Turn Off Applications and Services
Any applications, products, or services (virus scan software, backup software, etc.) running on the server to be upgraded should be shut down before beginning the upgrade procedure.
80
Verify a Valid DOS Partition

Your NetWare server uses the DOS partition to start the computer and load NetWare. Many of the existing NetWare startup files will be replaced with new NetWare 6.5 files. In addition, the DOS partition must exceed the minimum amount of available space to accommodate new NetWare 6.5 files. If the DOS partition does not have enough available space, you cannot upgrade the server. You must create a new DOS partition and install a new server. See Creating and Formatting a Boot Partition on page 30.
TIP: If your computer does not meet the minimum requirements, you might try using the Novell Migration
Wizard utility to migrate data to another computer. For more information, see the NetWare Migration Wizard 7.0 documentation (http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/migwiz70/index.html).
Starting an Upgrade
When you upgrade to NetWare 6.5, both the operating system and eDirectory are upgraded. In addition, only the NetWare products or components that are currently installed are upgraded. Other Novell products that you might have purchased or installed separately (for example GroupWise or ZENworks) are not upgraded. Additionally, the Enterprise server is migrated to the Apache 2 Web server when you upgrade to NetWare 6.5. During the upgrade, the existence of the Enterprise server is verified, and if it exists, information in the Enterprise servers config files is migrated to the Apache 2 servers config files. After the Apache 2 Web server is installed, the Enterprise server is automatically removed.
IMPORTANT: When upgrading a NetWare 5.1 or 6.0 server with the Novonyx Web Server to NetWare 6.5,
the document root for the Novonyx Web Server is preserved and not updated to the Apache 2 Web Server document root. Some NetWare 6.5 Web services might not work correctly. To resolve this, review and edit the Apache configuration file, sys:\apache2\conf\httpd.conf.
If you are performing an upgrade, several components are already selected. These are the components currently installed on the server. Leaving the installed components checked reinstalls the products. Unchecking an installed component does not uninstall the product.
TIP: If you attempt to install a new server into your tree at the same time you upgrade another server in the
tree to NetWare 6.5, you might have difficulty logging in to the server being upgraded until the other servers installation is complete.
To begin an upgrade to NetWare 6.5:

1 Insert the NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System) and if it does not auto-mount as a NetWare
volume, mount it by entering LOAD CDDVD.NSS at the system console.

2 From the server GUI console, click Novell and select Install. 3 In the Installed Products page, select Add. 4 When the Source Path page appears, browse to the location of your NetWare 6.5 software. 5 Select the product.ni file and click OK. 6 Verify that the Source Path window has the correct path filled in and click OK.
Proceed to Accepting the License Agreements on page 83.
81
Remote Upgrades
One of the features in NetWare 6.5 is the ability to remotely upgrade any servers in your network. The process is a simple one that can be accomplished in two different ways: Remote Upgrade from iManager 2.0 Remote Upgrade from the NetWare Deployment Manager
TIP: When you run a remote upgrade, if the source files are located on a remote server, that server must
contain a DS replica in order for the server-to-server file copy to run efficiently. If a replica does not exist on the source server, the file copy might revert to a workstation copy, which can be significantly slower over a WAN link.
Remote Upgrade from iManager 2.0
iManager 2.0 must be installed and configured in order for remote upgrades to successfully complete using this utility. For information on installation and configuration of iManager 2.0, see the Novell iManager 2.0.x Administration Guide. After iManager 2.0 is installed and configured, complete the following tasks:
1 Click the Install and Upgrade link that displays on the left side of the iManager main page. 2 Click the Upgrade to NetWare 6.5 link. 3 From the page on the right, click the Upgrade a Server Remotely link. 4 Click Browse and browse to the root of the NetWare 6.5 build or NetWare 6.5 CD 1
(Operating System).
NOTE: Performing the remote upgrade from a staging server that contains the NetWare 6.5 Operating
System files is significantly faster than launching from the NetWare 6.5 CD located on the workstation.
The path selected will include nw65os. In NetWare 6.5, the path expects a mapped drive and does not support UNC paths. If you are not prompted for your source media, it is because you have run an upgrade from Deployment Manager in the past and it will launch the upgrade from that same source. If you do not want to use this previous location, delete the file \program files\common files\novell\ni\data\browserlaunch.rsp.
5 Click OK. 6 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the remote upgrade.
See Accepting the License Agreements on page 83. After the initial reboot during a remote upgrade, a login screen might display requiring you to log in to the server being upgraded. If this occurs, provide the login information, click Details, type the IP address of the server being upgraded, then click OK. If Installation/Upgrade tasks fail to run from iManager, you might need to change your security settings.
1 In Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options. 2 Click Security > Custom Level. 3 Under Initialize and Script ActiveX Controls Not Marked as Safe, select Enable. 4 Click OK.
82
Remote Upgrade from the NetWare Deployment Manager 1 On a Windows NT/2000 or Windows XP Professional Edition workstation that has the latest
Novell Client installed on it, log in to your existing network as a user with the Supervisor right. If you are prompted to log in again while running the NetWare Deployment Manager, you can specify the IP address of the server by clicking Details.
2 Insert the NetWare 6.5 OS CD, or map a drive to a server containing the NetWare 6.5
Operating System files, and run the NetWare Deployment Manager (nwdeploy.exe) located at the root of the Operating System files.
NOTE: Performing the remote upgrade from a staging server that contains the NetWare 6.5 Operating
System files is significantly faster than launching from the NetWare 6.5 CD located on the workstation.
3 Click the Upgrade to NetWare 6.5 link on the left navigation bar of the Deployment Manager. 4 In the right frame of the browser window, click the Upgrade a Server Remotely link. 5 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the remote upgrade. See Accepting the
License Agreements on page 83.
Accepting the License Agreements

Accepting both license agreements means that you have read and agreed to the terms and conditions contained in the license agreements.
1 For an upgrade, click I Accept for both license agreements.
Health Check Summary

NetWare 6.5 performs a health check on your server to determine if an upgrade can proceed without problems. A summary of the checks that were run is displayed including a Success, Warning, or Failure state for each check that was run. If the health check completes without any Warning or Failure states, the health check summary page does not display. If that is the case, proceed to Back Up Server Files on page 83. A Success or Warning state allows the upgrade to continue. A Failure state stops the upgrade until the problem is resolved.
1 To view the detailed health check log, click View Log. 2 Click Next.
Back Up Server Files

This page allows you to specify whether to back up your server files. It also lets you select whether to automatically reboot the server after the file copy is complete and gives you the option of a Default or Manual installation.
1 Select Yes or No depending on whether you want to back up the server files. 2 If you selected Yes, specify the location for the backup files.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the drive you specify as the location for the backup is a valid drive on the
